Re: Are custom stroke pneumatics considered "COTS"?

Al,
I understand what you are staying, but can't anyone order the same "custom" parts? I'm just trying to say that, in cylinders, length does not make it custom.

Another question: if I needed 5.5" stroke and ordered in "custom" from one manufacturer, but I could have ordered it out of another catalog would it be COTS?
I'm just trying to understand the rules here.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
